Exactly. Social networking sites are in the privacy invasion business. Their "users" and their data are merely the product to be acquired, accumulated, processed, packaged and sold to anyone with cash-in-hand. And quite a few of them are spammers, including facebook, linkedin, ning, plaxo, friendster, grouply, fanbox, myspace, scour, etc. ---Rsk _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
